The irony of Jerry Jones is he wants with enormous passion for the Cowboys to be relevant but his antics and bad management keep them in the gutter competitively…. so he has to stoop to gimmicks to keep us talking about him.

I have no problem with them signing Sam to the practice squad… but having a presser for a practice squad guy and then selling practice squad jerseys….. gimmicks at best. Reeks of desperation to stay relevant.

Y’all are acting like toy wouldn’t do the same? This is a win win for Jerry. He gets a good defensive player on practice squad who may be able to help later on but also gets sales in the process. Jonny football or Tim Tebow wouldn’t give him this deal cause they wouldn’t play. I think it’s great

Why not sell his jersey…y’all are laughing while not only was this a good pick up for Dallas but jerry jones is a smart enough business man to sell the jersey…what part of that should he be ashamed of?? Looks like a football and a business move to me… Btw #letsgoPats

I hate the Cowboys, but they’re just capitalizing on a free market society. People will buy it, why not sell it? You (and every other owner) would do the same.

And do they have duplicate numbers between practice squad/active roster? I didn’t think they did…I mean I guess he COULD change numbers if he is ever signed to the active roster, but he wouldn’t need to.

Sam wasn’t on the practice squad when the Rams were selling his jersey…. he was a high profile draft pick, and EVERYONE sells jerseys for high profile draft picks.

Sam wasn’t drafted by the Cowboys… he was signed as a free agent to the practice squad. And we’re not talking about his jersey being available on the website where I think most teams will allow you to buy any player you want… this is at the pro shop where limited rack space usually limits teams to selling the jersey of their star players. Sam is not a star player for the Cowboys… he’s not even on the 53 man roster.

Jerry just wants to be in the news. Doesn’t matter if it’s signing a gay player or keeping a scrub around that got behind the wheel and killed his teammate. As long as it’s in the news, he’s fine with it.

The NFL’s revenue-sharing model is universally lauded as the reason pro football continues to thrive in tiny markets like Green Bay, Wisconsin.

The bulk of the league’s revenue – approximately $4 billion in 2011 – comes from broadcast deals with NBC, CBS, Fox, ESPN and DirecTV. That income is shared equally among all teams. Income from licensing deals – everything from jerseys to posters to team-logo beer coolers – is also shared evenly.

Ticket revenue is split using a slightly different formula: the home team keeps 60 percent of “the gate” for each game, while the visiting team gets 40 percent.
